Alternatively using soda ash for pH adjustment can reduce gold depression. Where gold is associated with pyrite in base metal ores where iron sulphides are depressed and report to the tailings, a separate tailings pyrite flotation concentrate should be considered. Producing a pyrite concentrate with associated gold maximizes gold recovery.

Jul 14, 2016 · The pyrite values include all gold so intimately associated with the pyrite that cyanidation for a prolonged period under ideal laboratory technique will not dissolve it. Unlike the gangue values, finer grinding has comparatively little effect on reducing the pyrite values of the cyanide tailing.
